Bombardier to cut 1,700 aerospace jobs, mainly in Montreal

TORONTO

TORONTO Jan 21 (Reuters) - Bombardier Inc
, the Canadian plane and train maker, said on
Tuesday it plans to lay off 1,700 employees from its aerospace
division, primarily in the Montreal area.

The company, which again delayed the launch of its $3.9
billion CSeries jetliner last week, said it was reducing staff
as part of a cost-cutting push that began in 2012. Bombardier
said 300 jobs had already been cut in December.
